Hi.. Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC.. I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns.. As per your complain Triglow cream contains a combination of Hydroquinone, Tretinoin and Flucinolone Acetonide.. It is a steroid based cream.. Carofit plus on the other hand is an antioxidant.. As far as side effects of steroid creams is concerned, steroid based creams initially shows wonderful effects on face by reducing pigmentation and brightening the face.. But long term use has severe side effects like skin thinning, pimples, inflammation, rashes, itching, excess hair growth and dilated veins under the skin.. Also on long term use the skin becomes addicted or dependant on steroids and once the use is suddenly stopped, there are withdrawal side effects and it is the same thing that you are facing now that is increased pigmentation, rashes, swelling, redness etc.. I would suggest you to consult a Dermatologist who can evaluate you clinically and also advise you safer depigmentation creams that are steroid free.. You can start using safe depigmentation creams and facewash like salicylic acid and glycolic acid containing facewash, kojic acid, arbutin and glycolic acid creams etc.. Application of vitamin C gel can also help.. Licorice and grapeseed extract containing creams are also effective.. Take Vitamin C supplements.. Exfoliate your skin twice a week using a gentle scrub.. Limit sun exposure.. You can also go for treatments like Microdermabrasion and chemical peeling.. Hope this information helps.. Thanks and regards. Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
